Not sure Gorbachev,Chernenko or even Khruschev (after Stalin) purged much if anyone

Yeah.  So...?  If they were the only Russian leaders, ever, then I guess you'd have a point?

They have thousands of nukes, most deliverable.  It's not a great situation if their leadership goes unstable. 

yeah, and not to mention despite the bravado, the ABM defense systems haven't proven to be all that great. most of those nukes would hit their intended targets.

 most of those nukes would hit their intended targets.

not if they are designed like the ABMs

An accident could still mean a launch - strange game - the only winning move is not to play

yes and hes justified caused he warned us years ago he would do this

who said he was justified? man, reading comprehension.

Indeed it's Russia's right to murder its neighbors.

I learned that right here on this thread from some really smart stable geniuses.

Who said that it was their right to murder it's neighbors? I haven't seen anyone say that once. And you're acting as if there was zero provocation by the US which lead to these course of events, that they just up and decided to invade for shits and gigs. Just because. That is not the case. To be clear- there is no justification for this or any other illegal invasion. And no country has a right to invade another. 

Any Russian leader would want/need Ukraine as a buffer zone- with Ukraine in NATO- they become literally indefensible from a NATO land invasion. They'd be beyond f**ked. They simply put would not be able to halt an invasion. US could've very easily cut a deal to revoke Ukraine's open-ended NATO membership offer- not like they were getting in anytime soon- you know- seeing as they are one of the 10 most corrupt countries in the entire world. US refused to even negotiate. This leads me to the logical conclusion that the US either wanted this outcome or simply just did not give a sh*t about Ukraine. The US has used Ukraine as a pawn like they do many other inferior states- and Ukraine was stupid enough to buy our bullshit- and despite Zelenskyys pleas the US is not establishing a no fly zone or sending boots on the ground. 

Had to show the Russians how big our d**ks are though, right? Just have to prove how tough we are, while Ukraine gets wrecked. How DARE anyone try to tell us where we should and shouldn't put our military alliance! How dare they!

We get it... It's the US's fault that Putin invaded.
